Cool story of determination. -D
At Port Fairy's East Beach, even in the bitterly cold months of winter, it's a normal sight to see a group of people in nothing but bathing suits, submerging a man right into the ocean in a wheelchair.
The scene is generally accompanied by peels of laughter and the unchecked roar that only the cold whack of the ocean can extract from a person.
The man in the chair is Jim Pevitt and he is being helped into the ocean for his daily ritual. It's a ritual known to all inhabitants of beach towns around Australia — the early morning ocean dip.
